Soon, Li Luo took the personal guards and followed Ji Jiuniang into Han Gong's silver cellar.

A small basement with more than a dozen boxes. Every box was sealed and painted. On the side of each box, a slip is pasted.

Li Luo saw the list posted on the first wooden box that read: "1,000 catties of silver cakes." ”

Jin silver cake? Li Luo used to be a "cultural relics worker", he knew the currencies of ancient East Asian countries, and he had never heard of "Jin Silver Cake".

"Open!" Li Luo ordered the guards.

Yan Falcon took matters into his own hands and opened a wooden box, and suddenly there was a light of white flowers, and the strong aura of money suddenly spread. This breath is not a real taste, but a deep feeling in the heart.

Pieces of silver the same size as square cakes were neatly stacked together.

Li Luo picked up a piece and weighed it, and sure enough, it was just about sixteen taels, that is, one catty.

The shape of the silver is also like a piece of cake, and it weighs a pound, and it is really a "pound of silver cake". Looking at the color, the purity is very high, and it should be the second smelting.

Moreover, there are no inscriptions on it.

This is definitely not the official currency of any country. Nowadays, the Central Plains uses copper coins, paper money, and silver ingots; Goryeo used copper coins and silver bottles; Japan uses copper coins, mainly "ferry money", that is, Song money and Tang money, as well as Liao gold copper money.

Ji Jiuniang took the initiative to explain: "Han Gong sold iron in Japan and exchanged it for copper coins. But because there were too many copper coins and too heavy, they used copper coins to buy silver, transported it back and melted it themselves, and then made this square cake. ”

Li Luo understood that this "Jin Silver Cake" was actually processed and cast by Han Gong himself. Also, he has iron-making furnaces and craftsmen, and all pieces of iron can be melted and cast, not to mention silver with a lower melting point.

Li Jiuniang said: "A box is just a thousand silver cakes, 18,000 taels." There are eight and a half boxes of silver cakes, and a box of gold cakes. ”

And a box of "golden cakes"?

Li Luo was even more excited, this is gold!

The box of "golden cakes" was hidden in the innermost, and when it was opened, it was shining with gold and extravagance, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies.

It's the kind of feeling of excitement that goes with every pore when facing gold.

There is only half a box of "golden cakes", each of which is smaller, and it is one per catty, not exactly a thousand. The list reads 812 gold cakes.

That's more than 13,000 taels of gold. Now one tael of gold is exchanged for eight taels of silver. Then this half box of "golden cakes" is worth more than 100,000 taels of silver!

Eight and a half boxes of "silver cakes" and half a box of "gold cakes", more than 250,000 taels!

Don't worry, there are still three boxes.

Inside were silver ingots, gold and silver jewelry, and these things had inscriptions and even blood stains on them. These are not the gold and silver that Han Gong's latte exchanged in Japan, but the property that Han Gong looted.

Estimated, the value is also tens of thousands of taels.

In this way, all the value of gold and silver comes out. Close to 300,000 taels of silver.

It's a huge windfall. The top gate valve like Renzhou Li is said to have an annual income of 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to only 150,000 taels of silver.

In other words, the pirate's hidden silver is almost worth two years of the Li family's income.

"Han Gong actually held so much money...... There is really no reason. Li Luo couldn't help but say.

Ji Jiuniang said: "This is not Han Gong's personal money, a lot of it is registered on the pirate, but it is just stored together." ”

Sure enough, Li Luo also found a list, which was densely packed with the names of pirates, all of which were how much money was deposited by so-and-so. However, most of them still belong to Han Gong personally.

"Ji Jiuniang, this official will definitely not treat you badly. You can go back with the official, Shi Yan will send someone to pick you up, and the official left him the address. Li Luo said.

"Thank you, General Lee." Ji Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief. At first, she was afraid that Li Luo would be interested in her and mess with her. Later, he was afraid that Li Luo would kill himself.

Now, she's finally relieved.

Li Luo made such a fortune and regained his former sense of security for the first time.

is when his personal net worth finally exceeds 100 million, that sense of security.

It took him more than half a year to finally be rich again.

"All the inventory and registration were made, and the boxes were carried to the ship, so I was careful." Li Luo ordered.

Yan Tong and Ah Shan led the order to go out, and called dozens of fellow villagers to carry out more than a dozen wooden boxes.

Next, Li Luo rushed to the mine again.

He saw the pieces of iron that had been piled up like a hill. So much iron, of course, is the crystallization of the labor of more than a thousand coolies.

There is also a smelting workshop of considerable scale.

Wan Yan Guangxia came over and reported: "Camp master, more than a thousand miners were found in the mine cave and were locked inside. Please show the camp owner. ”

Li Luo thought about the arrangement: "Form a formation under the mine, and then release the miners." ”

Guangxia said: "The camp master is wise! ”

This is not Guangxia's sycophant. He felt that the camp owner's arrangement was indeed small and very orderly.

Very simple. There are thousands or hundreds of miners, and they are all strong men, once they are all released, what if they suddenly cause chaos?

With an army on standby, they will be honest.

After waiting for more than 1,000 soldiers to gather under the mine, Li Luo gave an order with confidence: "Release all the miners and craftsmen on the mountain, remember, don't take the initiative to hurt people." We are the righteous men who have come to save them from fire and water! ”

Soon, the cell door in the mine was opened, and a team of ragged miners descended from the mine.

As soon as the sea breeze blew, a sour smell permeated. Li Luo couldn't help but hold his breath, a little nauseous.

It stinks.

The miners quickly understood what was happening. There were officers and soldiers who came to save them!

Han Gong and the other pirates who killed a thousand knives were all wiped out by these mighty officers and soldiers in front of them.

All right!

Heaven has eyes!

Soon, the officers and soldiers who rescued them said that their commander was the young general, surnamed Li. Groups of miners, without supervision, involuntarily bowed down to Li Luo.

“…… General Lee's great kindness ......"

"The Shogun is the ...... of the reborn parents"

Li Luo said loudly: "You and the others are all Chinese people, they have fallen into the hands of pirates, and they are precarious to be cattle and horses, which is really pitiful!" Since the official heard the report, he has compassion on him. ”

"But the government did not have a military order to send troops to the sea to relieve the overhang. This official can only lead his troops to sea without authorization, and he has a lot to do! Fortunately, I finally saved you, even if the court is removed, it will not be wronged! ”

Li Luo went to sea, which can only be said to have taken advantage of a loophole. But to say that he went to sea without permission against the order would be far-fetched.

As for coming specifically to rescue absenteeism, of course, it is even more nonsense.

But these absenteeism were originally simple people, and their understanding of officials was still very simple, of course, they were very comfortable with Li Luo's set.

General Li actually disobeyed the orders of the superior officials to rescue them!

I'd rather risk dismissal than save the people, that's what King Wumu did!

As for why the government is unwilling to save them...... Needless to say? Now it is the Mengyuan court, the Tartars are like tigers, the marquis is like wolves, and the scourge is too late, how can you save the people?

Suddenly, the absentees' gratitude to Li Luo was even hotter.

Soon after, Li Luo got another surprise. More than 1,300 miners were strong, and there were more than 100 blacksmiths and ironsmiths, as well as dozens of shipwrights.

These craftsmen were all captured by Han Gong with great effort. It can be regarded as the technical talent that Li Luo is needing now.

In the end, there were more than a dozen seagoing ships in the seaside port, and one of them turned out to be a big warship.

This warship, at a glance, knew that it once belonged to the main ship of the Song Army's naval division.

"Money, food, iron, ships, people! Pack it all up and take it away! ”

Li Luo said in his heart, trying to remain indifferent on his face, not showing a smug look in front of his subordinates.

Then, under his feet, he boarded the warship that once belonged to Han Gong's flagship.
